Are third party checks legal?
Yes, third-party checks are legal. A third-party check is a check where the original payee endorses the check over to another person or entity by signing the back of the check. However, some banks may have restrictions or policies regarding accepting or cashing third-party checks.
Where should you endorse a check?
The person who writes the check must sign the line on the bottom right front of the check.

There is almost always an "endorse here" area on the back followed by the words "do not write, stamp or sign below this line". The endorsement should go in this pre-assigned area.

First, open a checking or savings account at a credit union or bank. Second, fill out a deposit slip. Third, endorse the check (sign it on the back in the area reserved for endorsement).

In the example, the check is made to you, John Doe and you want to pay it to Sally Blow you would endorse the check, "Pay to the order of Sally Blow" then sign John Doe.This would be a qualified endorsement.Other endorsements can state, "Without recourse" which is supposed to mean you accept no responsibility for the item if it bounces, but banks don't honor that as a rule.You can also endorse, "for deposit only" or include "for deposit only and the account number". This is intended to prevent someone else from depositing it into their account.Some companies use and endorsement stamp that stamps something like: "For deposit only, Bank of America, 011000111" This is an endorsement as well.For Deposit OnlyYour Company NameAccount Number:# 000-000-000000

What is a second party check?
A "second party check" is a check where the payee is depositing or cashing the check. For example, Bob Smith writes a check to his brother John Smith. John Smith is the payee, (second party) who deposits the check into an account in his own name, or cashes the check. If John Smith wants to endorse the check on the back to a different person, that other person would be a third party. The check would now be a "third party check." Banks are likely to not accept this type of check if the third party tried to cash it, because they cannot verify endorsements.

Define third party check?
Say Jack has a cheque from Bob, and Jack wants to pay walmart with that cheque...that would be a 3rd party check. Essentially it would be a cheque you are using (with the permission of who ever owns the cheque) to pay someone, so the owner of the cheque would be the 3rd party since they are outside of the acutal transaction betwen you and who ever you are paying. Hardly anywhere will accept a third party check because of the high risk of fraud. ---- If somebody gives you a check, and you turn it over and write "pay to the order of ____" in order to give it to a third party, that makes it a third party check. An example would be using your paycheck to pay for your groceries.
